This past weekend I went to a movie. And these are the things that continue to drive me crazy every time I go to a movie theater...
1. Don't bring your little kids to an 8:00pm movie... especially one that is NOT for kids. Maybe if your child is an infant and will sleep through the whole movie, MAYBE I could let that slip. But other than that, it's just rude to other paying movie-goers to have to sit through your kids kicking chairs, talking loud or crying during the length of the movie. Get a babysitter, or don't go out to a movie. Thank you.
2. Just because you are now allowed to reserve seats before the movie, doesn't mean it's OK to show up late and make everyone move out of your way so you can sit in your middle seats. It's great that we can reserve the seats we want, but we still need to make it on time for the movie people. Tardiness is rude.
3. Put your cell phone away for 2 hours... and turn the ringer off! When the lights are dimmed and you have your cell phone out, it is blinding to the people around you. Plus, how hard is it to turn your phone to silent?? I know it's not hard, I too have a cell phone.
4. On those same lines... don't answer your cell phone if it rings. Let the person leave a message and call them back after the movie. What a concept!
5. I like treats just as much as the next person. But if you haven't already figured it out... unwrapping your candy slowly only drags out the noise. Just give it a quick twist or tear and that's that! And let's try doing this during a louder scene in the movie, not during the quietest scenes.
6. Previews are part of the movie.... don't talk during them.
7. Don't kick the chair in front of you... it's annoying.
8. Don't save a whole row of seats for a sold out movie. Make the people get to the movie on time!
I'm not trying to be rude... well ok, maybe I am. But if it's going to make my movie experience a little better, then I think it's worth it.
